Volunteers want to join back old jobs

- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

Disappoint­ed with the party’s dismal performanc­e in the Lok Sabha elections, many AAP volunteers, who had quit their jobs to join the party, have planned to return to their workplaces. The disenchant­ed volunteers, who fear a bleak future for the newbie party after its crushing defeat, asserted that they will have to go back to the daily grind of their jobs to eke out living.

Many of the volunteers, who were working with the reputed organisati­ons, said they are ready to take up their previous jobs, even if the employer is paying much less than the past remunerati­on. “I was working as an engineer with Oracle Mumbai and was earning ` 30,000 per month. But now the same company is offering ` 20,000 for the same designatio­n. I have no option, but to go back as I need a headstart,” a volunteer said.
